title: [Pain therapy options in trauma and emergency surgery].
abstract: Sufficient acute pain therapy has been scientifically proven to be one of the therapeutic pillars for rapid patient convalescence, a low rate of pain chronification, and a high grade of patient satisfaction. This includes not only systemic pharmacological pain therapy, but also nonpharmaceutical measures, e.g., physical, psychological, locoregional, and adequate patient information. This requires a specific infrastructure, exact clinical control mechanisms, and fundamental knowledge about pain avoidance. The surgeon can responsibly contribute to this. The goal of the following article is to demonstrate and deepen this knowledge and to describe the newest scientific developments.
